Response to Comment: An objective assessment of halitosis in children with adenoid vegetation during the pre- and postoperative periods

We greatly appreciate the reader's valuable comment. We completely agree with the reviewer that the diagnosis of allergic rhinitis (AR) is based on history, physical examination, and allergy tests. However, in many cases, especially in children, we tend to prefer noninvasive procedures. Therefore, in our study, patients with suspicious AR history or suspicious AR findings on endoscopic examination were excluded. As we mentioned in the Discussion section, one of the limitations of our study was the small sample size.
